Why we need your help

• The Christian Counseling Center is a non-profit, donor supported, professional counseling ministry.

• Our Project Hope Fund provides counseling and services to children & adults who represent all races and ethnic groups. The Fund of Project Hope offers special assistance and sliding scale support through our main center at 1870 Leonard, but most of our clients are served through Inner City Partner locations.
